  Hi, Leon,

  Always include computer make and model, please.  Thank you.

  Research in the Bios (reboot and press F1 or F2 depending on your system, check that all usb options are enabled (for example, USB legacy or support for USB 2.0 devices).)

  If there is a timeout parameter, set it to Max.

  Then, find the boot device priority section

  A USB flash drive, which is usually listed as USB - HDD, but may be listed as a removable device, will have a priority very low start.

  Rearrange the boot device priority so that the flash drive has a higher priority than the hard drive.

  Install Windows XP from USB key

  • Insert the USB key into the USB port on the computer.

  • Open the "I386" folder and find the file "Winnt.exe".

  Double-click on the "Winnt.exe" to launch a command prompt BACK to an installation of Windows XP.

  Type the path of the location of your "I386" folder in the DOS window. For example, if your USB is the letter "D" in your "My Computer" window, type "d:\i386" without the quotes and press the Enter"" key.

  Let the installation program copy the Windows XP installation files on your computer.

  Restart your computer to a command prompt. The Windows XP Setup will continue automatically.

  Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. The program will ask you your Windows XP product key in this process.

• Cannot install XP Pro on the replacement hard drive.

  I had to replace the hard drive in my desktop pc and now when trying to install XP Pro on the new drive, Windows Installer States he is not hard drives are.

  I suspect it's maybe because I couldn't install the HDD no operating system drivers.  The hdrive installation instructions say to boot from the Windows installation CD.  Then, when you are prompted for the SCSI or RAID driver to press F6 (which I did) then press S to specify additional devices (which I did).  At that time there installing Windows asks me to insert the "floppy" third-party driver in drive A:.  I have no floppy or the car drive.  I tried to load the CD of drivers in two of my two cd/dvd drives, but it has never recognized the cd.

  I contacted Seagate hdrive manufacturer and they said that my motherboard drivers need be updated so that windows would allow the hard disk drivers be installed from Cd.

  They said either communicate with the provider of the motherboard and ask drivers to a floppy, then buy and install a floppy drive on my pc all them in order to get Windows Installer on this new hard drive.  Another option was to buy a new operating system!

  Hoping someone here knows a reasonable solution to this.  My Win XP Pro version is 2002.  I create a copy of it and integrated SP3 with it and tried to start one, but still, it does not recognize the hard drive.  The hard disk appears in the BIOS.

  Thank you!

  Don

  Followed by my previous inquiry, my hard drive crashed and lost my copy of Acrobat 9 in the installation of the new hard drive.  How can I go to re - install Acrobat 9 from the disc, I hold. Thank you, Don Hamilton

  Just reinstall from the disc (or download it from https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-8-9-product-downloads.html) and activate it with your serial number.

  If your number of activations exceeds max (2), then you will need to contact customer service.

• Try to install Windows 7 from the SanDisk USB 3.0 Flash drive...

  I spent days trying to find a solution to this, but nothing helped. I am trying to install an image pre-configured on a new Dell Latitude E5530 and Dell Precision T3500 (our two standard workstation deployments). At the prompt 'Where would you install windows?', I chose the disk/partition and get a message "Windows Setup could not create a new partition system.

  Before I begin to explain - I made this configuration will leave if it is thousands of times with disks USB 2.0 without problem. (It installs custom and preconfigured win 7 for an enterprise environment.) The images we use are fine - they work with other USB 2.0 readers)

  Material:

  Dell Latitude E5530 / Dell T3500

  128 GB Samsung SSD (Dell OEM) / Western Digital 320 single disc and two disks in RAID 1 (RAID Intel)

  Installation drive: SanDisk Extreme 32 GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive

  Software:

  Windows 7 32-Bit Enterprise Edition

  -Pre-configured image and answer file, custom (install.wim)

  Here's what I've done previously. None of this worked at all:

  • Clean the disk target (SSD) with diskpart (own > create > active > format (NTFS) > attribute).
  • Clean the installation USB 3.0 drive and install re-copied the file several times.
  • Cloned the installation drive USB 3.0 from a well-known work 2.0 USB drive.
  • Addition of the latest Intel USB 3.0 Boot.wim in the USB 3.0 drivers installation disk.
  • Tried manually navigate and load the drivers of intel USB 3.0 while the selection of drive / configure screen (they seem to load but the error persists)
  • Boot order set to the target drive / array at the top of the list
  • Off the other boot devices.
  • Operation change of SATA (AHCI, SATA, RAID, etc.)
  • I tried different ports USB 3.0 and 2.0.
  • Tried with laptop in itself and dock.

  It seems that the Windows 7 installer will not work on this USB 3.0 flash drive anything (not even on 2.0 ports). Each search than I on this subject shows results that relate to an upgrade install or simply clean the score target and marking as active (what I've done, and what does not). I can't, for the life of me, understand what the limitation or the problem, it is that is causing these installs do not work.

  I don't have the option to try different USB 3.0 drives. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  I suggest to select the language appropriate to the download page and check if you are able to install the update on the system or not. The update that you are trying to install on the system must be of the same language as installed.

• How to install Windows 7 from the disc

  I need to know how to install the Windows 7 Home premium OEM version from the installation disc. I didn't know when I bought it on EBay, it is a generator system copy. I need to access the custom option to reinstall the full version of Home Premium on the ultimate version, which is not valid because I didn't know he could go only on a single computer. Anyway, if anyone could help me by allowing me to know where to find instructions on how to install Windows 7 Home Premium OEM version from the installation disc, I would be grateful. Or if you can send me the instructions, would be great.

• How to run windows 7 on the laptop already installed windows 8 from the same hard drive

  Hello

  I use a computer dell laptop with windows 8 OS. I want to install Windows 7 as another operating system on the same laptop. I got the image file on the hard disk in a different partition. I have not found any flash drive or dvd close to home. So, is it possible to make from the same laptop?
  Thank you
  Teja

  You will need to put the contents of the ISO image of Windows 7 on a DVD/Flash drive file and start, but after that you can install it on the same hard drive.  You could take little space and divide your hard drive into multiple partitions and install on one of them, or you can create a virtual hard disk (VHD) file and install on that.

  I wrote about the VHD method on my site back when Windows 8 came out first, but it works backwards too.
